The answer is C. I got it off of USA Test Prep.
D) Arnold says that Sea of Faith once "Lay like the folds . . . of a bright girdle furled."
Well, well, well... looks like D is the correct answer here. The ellipses are used correctly in option D to indicate the omission of words in the quotation. It's like the sentence is telling us, "Hey, I cut out some words here, but you get the gist!" Nice job, Arnold!

The correct sentence that uses ellipses correctly when integrating the quotation is:
C) Arnold says that the "Sea of Faith . . . Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled."
Explanation:
Ellipses are used to indicate the omission of words or phrases from a quotation. In this case, the ellipses are used to omit words between "Sea of Faith" and "Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled." Since the sentence in option C correctly indicates the omission of words in a way that maintains the meaning and coherence of the quotation, it is the correct usage of ellipses in this sentence.
